Is There an End.


Is there an end to WEAKNESS In lifel
To all this ceaseless and tumultuous strifei
That, from the very cradle to the grave,
Appals the hearts Of cen the strong and
brave?
Is there an end to this anxiety
That haunts us hour by hour and will not
flee?
Or are we made to mourn through day and
night
To walk in shade and never in the light?
Is there an end to losses and to pain?
And will there come time when naught
but gain
VIII follow all our unremittipg toll.
And when no foe shall cause us to recoilP
Is there an end to this dull, dreary mode
OF life? Or must our feet still press the road
Leading through places dangerous and dark
Where scarce an eye discerns one shining
mark?
Nav, do not look for perfect peace and rest !!
A life of noble coafiict is the best:
And chiYalry will win brighter crown
Than we could gain by casting burdens
down.

THE liquor license laws of Pennsyl-
vania, "says the Philadelphia Record, "aS
they are now construed are tumble
and puzzle for lawyers and laymen.
The indetinlteness of their provisions
gives excuse for the most cranky and in
consistent constructions by the courts.
In some judicial districts the theory is
set up that the granting of a license is a
matter Of judicial option; IN others,
that it is n matter of local option; and
in still others, that the option lies in the
hand of the applicant for Il license and
depends on literal compliance with
certain necessary formalities." This IS
the result of agitation. A sensible high
license law, such as is on the statutes of
Nebraska, admits of no puzzling con-
struction. Plainly and distinctly the re-
quirenents are written. The man sell
ing liquor under the Slocumb law under
stands its conditions and consequently
complys with them. The result is regu.
lation, and as general rule orderly
places where liquors are sold.

Extravagant Hxdrant Tolls.

The suburbs of the city ask for fire
protection, and they ought to have it as
speedily as possible. But before the
council orders q further extension of
water mains, it should come to an under
standing with the water works company,
with regard to the cost of additional
water hydrants. When the charter was
voted to the water works company six
years ago it was estimated that Omaha
would be we'll protected by 300 fire
hydrants. To-day the city is paying for
nearly five hundred hydrants at a rental
Of SSOa year for each hydrants. In other
words the hydrant tax has run up from
$4,000 to over $40, 900 a year, which rep
resents interest at per cent on an
investment of $500, 900 or interest at per
cent on $666,0O 1t is safe to say that the
present waterwOrkS plant can be dupli
Gated for less than $6O0,OOO 1t seems to
us that the time is at hand for read
justment of the contract between the
city and the waterworks company, on
basis that will assure a fair income to the
company without imposing needless bur-
dens upon the taxpayers.
WIN S4O,oUu year income from exlSI-
ing hydrants, the company can we'll af-
ford to reduce the price for additional
hydrants to $25 year. There is hand.
some profit in the investment for extern
sions even at that price. We have op.
posed the proposed repeal of the water
works company's franchise. but we deem
1t just and proper that the company
should be reOulred tO ratuce ito ex trava.
giant rental for additional fire hydrants.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Nov. %, 1887.

(from Our Regular correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov. %, 1887.
AS the time for the assembling OF
Congress draws nearer, the contest
for the position of Doorkeeper OF the
House wakes warmer-that appear
ing to be the only subordinate posi-
ton over which there is any compe-
tition, though, if certain combinations
that are now being formed can be
successfully carried out, the old slate
will be shattered and there will be a
sweeping change. There are six can
didates in the field for Doorkeeper,
from all sections of the country.
Heretofore, it has been the custom
for the Democratic Congressional
caucus to equally divide the four best
offices-giving to the North the SER
geant-at-arms aud postmaster and to
the South the clerk and doorkeeper-
an arrangement that will very likely
be continued. The Democratic mem
beers from New York have called a
caucus to meet in this city the latter
part of the week. to determine what
course they will pursue in regard to
the doorkeeporship.
Again the familiar faces of members
OF Congress can be seen at the hotels
and on the streets, and in their usual
haunts in the fashionable and aristO-
cratic northwest quarter Of she city.

Col. Belknap one Of her formost citi-

1t must, no doubt, be shock to

Barnett Gibbs is in accord with Sam

tofore been recognized as the leader
of the young democrats of Texas, but
certainly they will not indorse his

Of free whiskev and taxed blankets

with the republican theory of political
economy. 1t is safe to say that no
man entertaining such views will rep

ency in congress in the immediate fu-
